① Route for Touring Dams（Route1‐9）

Concrete Giants Coexist with Nature

The dams of Rumoi sub-prefecture aren’t large-scale dams like the Hoheikyo Dam or the Taisetsu Dam, however each dam is unique in purpose and appearance. It’s odd how well a manmade concrete structure can become a part of its natural surroundings. Lets take a trip to visit the tangible evidence of how man exists with nature.

①Tamiyasu Dam（Teshio）

It is distance of 5km from only 4km, the Teshio city area from the shore. The tree planting of the cherry tree is carried out by the hand of the townsman.
This dam is only 4 km from the ocean and 5 km away from Teshio town limits. The townspeople have planted many cherry trees in the dam vicinity.
*Scenic spot for cherry blossoms

This is the oldest concrete dam in Hokkaido that was built for agricultural purposes. The good condition of this historical dam is a tribute to the advanced level of engineering technology which was used to build it.
